Abstract: | Thermotropic mesophases can be detected by the light scattering properties of these phases. This article deals with a rapid scan technique for the detection and characterization of these mesophases by measuring light scattering as a function of temperature. From the number of compounds studied it is apparent that the method allows for a rapid and reasonably precise determination of transition temperatures. In addition, the method is found to be useful in the characterization of mesophases, in particular the nematic phase. |
